New
IESR facility: IESR now has an Environment
Chamber which can simulate a wide range of environmental
conditions and allow temperature and humidity to be
precisely controlled, enabling testing of a variety
of environmental conditions. The chamber has already
been used by outside parties for investigations into
environmental effects of acid rain on ceramic building
materials made from recycled television tubes. If you
are interested in using this facility, please contact

The
Institute for Environment, Sustainability and Regeneration
(formerly the Institute for Environment and Sustainablity
Research) (IESR) was established in 2002 as a focus for
multidisciplinary environmental research across Staffordshire
University. With over 30 contributing academic and research
staff, it provides a wide ranging profile of expertise in
aspects of environmental/risk policy and management, environmental
science, regeneration and sustainable development.
Research
within the Institute is funded by external bodies including
central government departments and agencies, local and regional
authorities, health authorities, research councils, charities
and the private sector. Our research collaborations extend
from the local region, to Europe and beyond, connecting
us with cutting edge developments around the world.
The Institute now
consists of five specialist centres:
The
Applied Environmental Research Group (AERG)
The
Regional Data Laboratory (RDL)
Sustainable
Business Solutions (SBS)
The
Centre for Local Enterprise and Skills (CLES)
The
Centre for Research on Emerging Economies (CREE)

overall aim of the Institute is to develop and support existing
